• We got beat

    For the first time in this campaign, we got beat in fundraising.

    The Romney campaign and the Republican Party raised more than $76 million last month, compared to our $60 million.

    We knew this moment would come when Romney secured the nomination.

    What happens next is up to you.

    Help close the gap right now—make a donation of $3 or more.

    I want to be clear: We'll always have more people pitching in.

    We know that only 15 percent of Romney's May totals came from people giving less than $250, compared to 98 percent in that category for us.

    We don't have the special-interest and high-dollar donor advantage that Romney has. Barack Obama has you, and we are bound and determined to fight back on behalf of a country where everyone gets a fair shot and a fair shake.

    From the beginning we've built this campaign together, from the bottom up. More people giving a little bit is the only way to compete with a few people giving a lot.

    So let's fight like hell and win this thing.
